Open Meeting for Arts Educators and Teaching Artists
How might arts educators gather together to develop, share, and practice pedagogies that foster collective skills and values?
Friday 5/17 from 6-8pm
Facilitators: Members of the Pedagogy Group
The Pedagogy Group is a group of educators, cultural workers, and political organizers who resist the individualist, market-driven subjectivities produced by mainstream art education. Together, they develop and practice pedagogies that foster collective skills and values. Activities include sharing syllabi, investigating political economies of education, and connecting classrooms to social movements.Their efforts are guided by accountability to specific struggles and by critical reflection on our social subjectivities and political commitments.
